Who Am I

Christie Rice is an organizational development practitioner, neuroscience-informed leadership consultant, and ordained minister.

Her work focuses on supporting leaders, teams, and systems within nonprofit, mission-driven, and faith-based organizations.

With over twenty years of experience in workforce and organizational development, she has supported leaders navigating complexity, change, and growth across public and community-based systems.

Christie is currently completing her doctorate in organizational and leadership psychology with a concentration in neuroscience at William James College.

Her work is shaped by both professional experience and formation in ministry and chaplaincy—bringing a grounded, relational, and human-centered approach to leadership in systems of care.

Her work is particularly focused on leaders and organizations carrying the weight of care, service, and community impact.


How We Build Trust

The work begins by listening.

We take time to understand the people, relationships, and pressures shaping your organization—not just what is happening on the surface, but what is happening beneath it.

From there, we work collaboratively to support leadership at three levels:

  • the individual

  • the team

  • and the system

Our approach is grounded in three core practices:

Attunement
We pay close attention to patterns, dynamics, and lived experience—creating shared awareness of what is really happening.

Regulation
We build the capacity to navigate pressure with steadiness, supporting leaders and teams in responding rather than reacting.

Connection
We strengthen communication, trust, and alignment so that people and systems can move forward together.

This work is not about quick fixes.

It is about creating the conditions for sustainable leadership, healthy teams, and organizations that can continue to serve their communities well.


Why This Matters

The work of leadership in mission-driven and faith-based organizations is deeply meaningful—and often deeply demanding.

It asks people to care for others while carrying responsibility, complexity, and, at times, quiet strain.

Over time, even the most committed leaders and teams can feel the weight of that work.

This work is grounded in the belief that leadership should not come at the cost of the people carrying it.

When leaders are supported, when teams are connected, and when systems are aligned, organizations are better able to serve their communities with clarity, care, and purpose.

At its core, this work is about sustaining the people who are called to serve.

An Invitation

If you’re seeking a different way to lead—one that is more grounded, relational, and aligned with how people actually think, feel, and grow—you’re in the right place.
